Was it? I seriously don't remember. I just know it's always been a high and demanding amount. And yeah, I think we ALL feel that way about the stupid commons. I'm running out of space *and* stable room (I rotate about 5+ in and out while breeding and evo'ing to later trade for the essence) and I'm probably going to start selling the fugly commons like the Neo Bubble, etc.
A game with a dragon count to this magnitude requires WAY better placement options, like some games where they give you an incredible amount of island *and* habitat space, which is just by default...
